Frequently Asked Questions

How Montessori Differs from Traditional Education?
Montessori education emphasizes child-led learning at each child’s pace, mastery-based assessment instead of grades, and mixed-age classrooms that foster collaboration. It takes a holistic approach, integrating academics with life skills, and positions the teacher as a guide rather than an authority.
What is worldschooling, and how does it differ from traditional education?
Worldschooling is an educational approach where families integrate travel and cultural experiences into their children's learning, viewing the world as their classroom. Unlike traditional education, worldschooling emphasizes experiential learning, cultural immersion, and adaptability, allowing children to gain a global perspective and practical knowledge through real-world experiences.
How does your program accommodate the needs of worldschooling families?
Our program offers flexible enrollment options, including short-term and long-term placements, to suit the varying schedules of traveling families. We provide a curriculum that integrates local culture and environment, ensuring that worldschooling students receive a rich, place-based education during their stay.
Can my child join your program for a short-term enrollment while we are in Tamarindo?
Yes, we welcome short-term enrollments/world schooling families and have designed our programs to seamlessly integrate new students, providing them with meaningful educational experiences that align with worldschooling principles.
Is there a registration deadline, or can we enroll at any time?
Thanks to our flexible enrollment policy, families and world schooling families can enroll at any time during the year, subject to availability. We recommend reaching out as early as possible to secure a spot for your child.
